Threat Of Extinction

March 19, 1986

OUR FIFTH-GRADE class at Lawton Elementary School in Ovideo took a survey among the other fifth-grade classes on the world's biggest problems. First was child abuse with 65 votes followed by missing children (52) and alcohol and drugs (51 votes). However, I believe pollution and conservation are big problems. If we don't stop polluting our air and water, there won't be much of a food supply left, and eventually we will become extinct.
